Detroit area market shift?
SuperDude
Detroit, Michigan
Larry Flynt's Hustler Club is in the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park. JudyJudy tells us she sometimes dances at Bada Bing in L.P. With the new ordinance in Detroit leading customers and dancers to go to the suburbs, will L.P. open new clubs or accept transfers of liquor licenses from Detroit? This is not yet a trend, but it wouldn't suprise me to see a new SC or two open in L.P. as part of the entertainment mix they want. Of course the pastors will be upset, but as Richard Pryor said in the movie "Car Wash," "Trust in the Lord, but believe in that federal green."

This whole situation is not rocket science....you can't have the service you want in detroit go to the outside venues.
But you guys all know my bounderies.....right?
Do I remember correctly there's a motel attached to The Bing?
As for Hustler, my 1st visit (opening night)was quite good. However, it's a 100 mile round trip and 8 mile clubs are much closer to me (living in Oakland county where there are exacly zero SC's).
Bottom line, as long the legal battle over the new ordinance changes continues, and the lawyers may keep that going for years (who knows?),I'm going to stay in the Detroit clubs mostly. The flip side is, if the new ordinances really take effect, dancers, customers, SC employees, etc. will flee to the 'burbs for sure. So, LP and other cities should probably start preparing for that day; it's inevitable I suppose.
